RNC Fires Phone Solicitors [former donors outraged over amnesty]
The Washington Times ^ | 05/31/2007 | None Listed

Posted on 05/31/2007 2:47:01 PM PDT by de meanr

There has been a sharp decline in contributions from RNC phone solicitations, another fired staffer said, reporting that many former donors flatly refuse to give more money to the national party if Mr. Bush and the Senate Republicans insist on supporting what these angry contributors call "amnesty" for illegal aliens. "Everyone donor in 50 states we reached has been angry, especially in the last month and a half, and for 99 percent of them immigration is the No. 1 issue," said the former employee.

It ain`t just the government that`s at fault, “we” deserve our share to. Lot`sa illegals are working in private homes, or are mowing grass in Beverly Hills.

Would you post back to me if the number still works? Thanks.

No go. Got a error message saying something to the effect that I was out of the calling area. Think since it got out they were forced to take it down or it may only work in area codes that are very heavy illegal. Guess on my part.

"GO Duncan Hunter !! The ONLY hope the GOP has if they wish to remain “in play” at all.."

Agreed...people, it's time to PONY UP and elect a man who will change the face of the GOP back to what it OUGHT to be...CONSERVATIVE!!! Duncan Hunter is the party's BEST and LAST hope to rekindle conservatism in Washington...

‘Thanks for not supporting the Republicans. I just know President Hillorat will work night and day to fix things with immigration right after she raises taxes, cuts off the troops, rewards Bubba, and takes those darn guns. Thanks for helping to make this happen, couldn`t have done it without you!’

Sorry, I don’t buy food I don’t like. I don’t purchase a vehicle I don’t want. Nor do I pay for services that haven’t been rendered.

As for the snotty, infantile ‘couldn’t have done it without you’ the GOP as it stands today hasn’t done anything ‘for me’ with the money I already gave.

You don’t enable incompetence. You don’t reward negligence.

Oh...sorry, apparently You Do.

Good luck with that...

I'm really beginning to wonder what is behind all this incomprehensible behavior. The GOP is destroying itself by ignoring the base - and knows it.

I'm wondering if the real problem is in the money trail? Are the unlikely ones promoting this Bill actually being threatened with either blackmail or death?

Untold billions of dollars have washed across our borders in illegal drugs. Everybody knows Mexico has become a narco-state. This is an increasingly corrupting influence. Is it possible some of these seemingly unlikely politicians have been compromised by taking drug money in the past (perhaps innocently in donations, at first) - and now they are being told they will be exposed if they don't support this awful Bill which will throw our borders wide open? There is nothing the drug lords and criminal gangs would rather have than open borders. Their profits will soar even higher with this country in chaos, the rule of law fatally compromised, and tens of millions of unassimilated foreigners streaming across our borders.

Are some of these politicians actually on the take and now they find the chips are being called in for their compromised cash? What else would ultimately explain their self-destructive attitude toward their voters and legitimate donors?

Are we talking genuine self-survival here - political and maybe physical? What else explains their irrational behavior?

I can’t send either of my daughters into Walmart these days without grown men following them around. The girls are 10 and 15.

You too, huh? Happens to my daughters as well.

I guess to point out the hyper-agressive and sick practices of these men would be an insult to "their culture."

By the way, driving while intoxicated also seems to be another overwhelming practice of "their culture."

This too:

Illegal aliens linked to gang-rape wave The crime epidemic no one will talk about?

I believe the 8,000 lb elephant in the room is this:

Courting the Hispanic Vote.

Both parties want that vote.

The Dims already have (and will always have) the following voting blocks: homosexuals, abortionists, feminists, lawyers, blacks, teachers, unionists, communists, atheists, and the dead.

The Republicans have: Christians, military and their families, business, conservative Jews, pro-lifers, and the majority of upper and middle class voters.

The Dims will never lose their communist voters, but the Republicans are in real danger of losing their base. The Republicans want to gain the huge Hispanic vote without any of their base saying anything against illegals.

Basically, shut up and enjoy the rape.

I feel extremely badly for the troops because Repubs have already said they will pull out of Iraq before the next election-once more showing they are political animals concerned with re-election and not doing what’s right. The troops are fighting with their hands tied behind their back-this has become a politically correct war. I think it will be lost by an government that cares nothing for what is right but only for what will get them elected.

"When you add 20 million new, poor, uneducated ‘citizens’ demanding food stamp, social security and free medical (they already get that by the way), it won’t much matter who is in the White House."

And then Americans are going to have to import more illegal and cheap labor because those "new" citizens are going to no longer be cheap. What will happen is that these uneducated, unskilled workers will demand to be paid more than they are worth. When they start losing their jobs they will go on the dole. Then whole cycle will start again. I am guessing that by 2027 there will be another "amnesty." The only positive note, is that I doubt Ted Kennedy will be writing it. This nation is done.

And is it just me, or does Tony Snow sound like a used-car salesman when he tries to pitch this amnesty plan.

Excuse me. As a used car salesman, I take offense at your comparison. Selling this amnesty requires more bullshittin' than does selling the biggest lemon on my lot.

I give them a piece of my mind on their dime.

The wife and I got tired of the interruptions by phone telemarketers from Citizens United and The Young College Republicans.

We received too many phone calls from Citizens United, but a visit to their web site put a stop to all their calls. Easy to do and it worked.

Disruptive and annoying calls from Young College Republicans was another matter.

3 calls per week for months is too many even if you have Caller ID.

After a half dozen times of telling who I assume were telemarketers to take us off their list of people to call and 3 shouting matches (both sides) enough was enough.

The Young College Republicans Web Site contained no contact information.

I emailed the RNC that due to the actions of The Young College Republicans we would not donate any money to the RNC, nor would we allow any Republican signs on our properties, nor would we support the RNC in any way for a period of one year after the phone calls from YCR ended.

The RNC's reply was a one sentence email with the phone number of the YCR, nothing else.

The Republican Party is on probation for 9 more months, one call and they start another year of probation. The Young College Republicans will never receive another dime from us.

It is simple to ask unwanted telemarketers for the web site, 800 number or mailing address of the organization they represent. Making contact with legitimate organization works for us to stop unwanted phone calls.

One person I know has a standard reply to any one asking for political donations. He tells them to contact the NRA because they are the only group where he makes political contributions. Call the NRA works for him.

They don’t get it - don’t understand that the Republican Party has become too liberal.

They might as well fire their telemarketers they are not going to get any contributions.

Screw the RNC. Traitors

I couldn’t have said it better. My money will not support these losers anymore. I’ll pick and choose who gets it.
